practice

1. Put the above-mentioned "dry" ingredients into a container and mix well. Prepare another container to put the "liquid" ingredients and beat evenly. Be sure to beat the eggs until they are foamed. It is best to beat the eggs separately. When beating the egg whites, add sugar in batches to make it easier to beat.

2. Put the "liquid ingredients" into the "dry ingredients" container and mix them into a thin batter. After mixing, pour it into a special microwave container. Brush a layer of oil on the bottom and four walls of the container first. After pouring, shake the container to let the large bubbles come out, and then let it stand to rise.

3. Cover the semi-finished product and put it into the microwave (set the power and time according to your own microwave, I use medium heat for 8 minutes, or high heat for 5 minutes). Set the time and bake. PS: You can adjust the time according to the power of your own microwave oven. Insert a toothpick into the center of the steamed cake. If it comes out clean, it is cooked.
